Pelosi: Ball in GOP court on ObamaCare replacement
thehill.com ^ | 1/2/17 | Melanie Zanona

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that the ball is in the GOP's court when it comes to replacing ObamaCare, according to reports.

Pelosi didn’t necessarily rule out working with the GOP on replacing President Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement after it is repealed, but said the responsibility to do so will ultimately fall in their lap.

ADVERTISEMENT "The ball is in their court," Pelosi said during a Democratic conference call on Monday, according to ABC’s Rick Klein. "You break it, you own it."

For starters just go back to what we had. The only change for me is I wont be a tax felon every year. And start kicking out all illegals. The pptential savings and current burden on the health care system is astronomical

Nope.

I will not.

Americans spend more on healthcare than any other nation. By far.

Yet our system does not cover everyone, and leaves a huge number of people to fend for themselves.

The richest country in the world. Yet our healthcare is an expensive, monstrosity.

Trump was right. Repeal, and replace Obamacare.

That’s funny. I’ve heard time and time again that Obamacare is so terrible because the Republicans didn’t help write the bill. Now... It’s all the Republicans fault. The poor democrats had nothing to do with Obamacare.

PS. The people who love Obamacare are the people who have NEVER voted for republicans regardless. Repeal that pile of trash and get the government out of the medical industry.

You don’t, have to, divide a sentence, up into five or six, clauses, with pointless commas.

Learn how to write if you expect readers to take you seriously.

Day one: give everybody and every entity a waiver for everything in ObamaCare. Thirty hour weeks become 40 again, etc. No one loses the policy the currently have, so there is less to whine about.

I don’t know exactly.

All I know is that our insurance industry is very good at excluding people who most need care.

I have always had insurance. Always.

That said, America does not have anything which provides coverage for everyone.

That is important.

Trump said he would come up with something appropriate.

I don’t know what he meant, but I sure as heck, believe it is a promise America will hold him to.

BTW, I have supported Trump since before he even announced.

This is a big issue though.

Do the right thing, Trump.

Pelosi is a delusional old lady much like Clintoonie. You can’t compare ObamaCare with a china shop. It’s more like buying a car that’s a lemon. If the SOB don’t work, you take it back to where it came from and dump it back in their lap. Only an idiot would continue throwing money at it in hopes of “fixing” it. KMA Pelosi. You should have read the bill BEFORE you passed it, moron!

It never has.

What if he can't?

I will wait and see.

Thus far, everything I have heard from Trump has been 100% what I wanted, and expected. With the possible exception of one thing about imminent domain. Everything else, in every way, he has been entirely on target.

He was elected, saying exactly what we wanted. In every single way.

Let’s let him take office first. Then we will see. I am cautiously optimistic.

For the first time, in quite a while.

Absolutely! I’ve been preaching this since the early 1970s when I had to pay my own insurance premiums.

And shop across state lines. And allow the premiums to be a tax deduction.

Well, yes, Nancy, your party has lost an enormous amount of power thanks to you, Obama, and Reid.

Pelosi needs a new medical plan with some immediate emergency cosmetic surgery available in it for her love-child offspring...
